Democratic candidate Alexa Avilés will be District 38’s next City Councilmember, leading Libertarian challenger Erik Frankel by a crushing 6,526 votes, according to unofficial election night results.
“I want to thank my neighbors, who have fought for themselves and their families, for all of our dignity; the tireless volunteers in NYC-DSA; the union members who put in shift after shift; the dedicated domestic workers, Las Damas of Sunset Park, who were with us every step of the way; the parents, teachers and students who have been improving our schools, every single day; and all the organizations and individuals that contributed to this victory,” Avilés said in a statement after declaring victory Wednesday morning.
